A necklace for Princess Amelia

Z and I set to work on a homemade gift for our little friend Amelia's 3rd birthday.

I set Z up with a tub of soapy water in the sink of my studio and she began felting the beads after I lightly needled them into shape.

Once they were prepared I helped her finish up with the felting.

Soapy little finished beads or as he worked she called them fish and they did a lot of swimming with their family in the tub of water.


Once they were rinsed and dried, I needle felted a little flower and strung the beads on a silk string with a magnetic clasp. ( sorry this pic is not right but you get the idea.)

Recycled Skirt

I was given a bunch of retro shirts by a lady from my Artist Mother's Group. She salvaged them from her aunt's attic and thought of me. I set to work washing them and putting them into groups according to color scheme. This is my brown skirt.
